Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep~

[The scene on the screen looks like something right out of some spooky grotto. In the middle, covered in all sorts of different colored types or seaweeds and other ocean vegetation sits Rise, all made up to look like a water nymph. She smiles rather doll-like at the screen, which looks rather creepy with the makeup she's wearing.]

Looking to be scared out of your wits~? Terrified beyond belief~? Or just trying to prove you're brave~?

[She lets out a shrill laugh before leaning closer to the screen.]

Test your courage, or just see if you can handle it, at the Haunted House here in Goldenrod itself~ And if you've been here before, well, things won't be the same like the last time~!

[The screen goes dark as the sounds of shrieks and laughter grow in pitch before dying down and ending the commercial. This girl is all about dramatics.]



[[ooc: Full description of the costume here. No need to reply to this since it's just meant to be a commercial unless you really want to talk to Rise.]]

[A video pops up, and once more Rise is dressed to match the Sylveon beside her. The background is Saffron City. Seems it's commercial take two. With no interruptions this time (hopefully).]

Hi everyone~! Risette here with some great news~!

[She spins in a circle and does a cute pose. Himiko mimics her the best she can, which turns out just as cute.]

Honeyed Soul has a brand new expanded menu! There's a ton of new items added to the already amazing selection of yummy treats just in time for summer~ There's even things for your Pokémon to enjoy! So head over to Goldenrod City and check it out!

[She blows a kiss at the screen, Himiko doing the same.]

We'll be seeing you~!

[The video shuts off at this point. Have fun messaging her with your thoughts on this, or anything else. If you're in the area, feel free to approach her.]

Video

[The screen pops on, and there's a worried looking Rise with a shiny Eevee in her arms. The Eevee looks sad as well.]

I found this little guy in my box this morning. Seems he came from Labrys-san... Does this mean she's gone now? Jin is really sad, and even Himiko can't help him. She's a Sylveon now, but she can't get him to feel better.

Do Pokémon take a long time to get over the disappearance of their trainers like a human would? Or is it different for them?

[She's really, really worried. And sad. She was hoping to get to know Labrys better.]

Action

[Being inside the Dojo all the time to practice was wearing her out. The commercial she was preparing for was a lot more intensive than she thought it would be. She was definitely out of practice.

So since it's Sunday, she decides it would be a perfect day to go out and about. Time to look for more people she knows! Practicing bit into a good chunk of the time she was here, so not a lot of exploring had been done.

If anyone is walking around Goldenrod, you'll see Rise walking around with a sad Eevee in her arms, Himiko the Sylveon at her side, and Nanako the Meowstic on her other side. Nanako is the only one of the four who doesn't seem all too perturbed with Labrys being gone. She was getting better at dancing. That's all that mattered to her.]

Do you think we'll find ni-chan today?

[Video feed turns on, showing a Pachirisu sitting on a bench. The Bellsprout tower can be seen in the background]

Hello everyone~! This is the newest member of my team, Ritsuko! Can you believe he's trying to learn how to dance? It's sooooo cute~!

[The Gear is panned over to several other Pokémon. An Eevee, Hoothoot, Flabébé, Espurr, and a Cleffa are playing around.]

Everyone here knows Himiko, of course! My Hoothoot is Fukuro, Sakuya is my Flabébé, Nanko is my Espurr's name, and Momomi is a Cleffa I got from a girl named Mimi! Momomi is adorable! She's attached to Sakuya, so she must love flowers.

[The Gear is turned now to Rise, who is pouting.]

I wanna get to Goldenrod as soon as possible. I've been here in Violet for a week now, and I need help! I don't want to travel all that way alone... Can someone help a girl out?

Action

Rise turns the PokéGear off with a sigh. She has not found anyone yet whom she could ask to travel with, so she's feeling rather down. Smiling on camera was easy. Keeping that smile after the cameras are off isn't as easy. Her Pokémon enjoyed the warm day immensely. Himiko kept playing tag with Nanako, Fukuro just let himself be resigned to his fate of horrible balance by just laying there on the ground and sleeping. Momomi and Sakuya are just happy to be exploring various little patches of grass in search of flowers.

It was a rather peaceful seen. Rise sits on the bench beside Ritsuko and grumbles. "I'm always tired now. Why can't there be cars or trains that take me everywhere. My feet hurt! It's not fair!" She looks visibly upset. "If the others were here, at least I'd have someone to travel with!"

Help an upset girl?
